Vasque de Paris at Sunset, Tuileries Gardens, Paris, 2025

The Vasque de Paris, designed for the 2024 Olympic Games, now serves as a landmark in the Tuileries Gardens. Shaped like a monumental balloon, it was first lit during the opening ceremony as the Olympic cauldron. Here it glows at sunset beside the Ferris wheel and the historic Louvre, blending sport, tradition, and Parisian spectacle.

Glass now has a Lightroom Classic plug-in — something I’ve been waiting for. I tried it today and it worked flawlessly: twelve photos uploaded in a flash. If you’re on Glass, I’d love for you to follow me.

I just added the Photo collections plug-in by @manton to my blog. I adore the Lightbox feature. It looks beautiful and makes me want to post more photos on micro.blog. Thank you @manton

Any Glass users on Micro.blog? I would love to see your feeds. I am new on Glass. This is my Glass Feed. Photos look gorgeous but not many users from what I can see.

It feels good to have moved away from Squarespace. It’s not well suited to managing frequent blogging with a lot of posts.

The Value of One Follower

I’ve been thinking about how much one follower can matter.
On Flickr, a very talented photographer followed my work for years, always leaving thoughtful comments. I love his work, and his encouragement meant a lot. He’s away now due to a health issue, and I hope he returns.

It’s a reminder: even one genuine connection can make sharing our work worthwhile.

A New Home for My Work

I’ve moved away from Squarespace. Now I have a blog for stories and images, and a new portfolio site for my photography. I’m here for the community — and the shorter posts. If you stop by either site, I’d love to hear what you think.
